  • Publication number: 20060187113
    Abstract: A visual illumination system incorporated between upper and lower radar dome assemblies external to a ship or boat's bridge or cockpit is disclosed. The visual illumination system provides a visual indication of those sectors in which the radar antenna is transmitting for personnel moving around the upper deck. The visual illumination system may also provide a visual indication of which sectors are currently blanked, thereby reducing a user's risk of inadvertent exposure to electromagnetic radiation. Visual indicators such as LEDs are spaced in sectors about the radar assembly with each LED being energized when the antenna transmits in its sector. The visual illumination system may be also installed on masthead assemblies where the radar antenna is not enclosed within a radar dome.

  • Patent number: 5649059
    Abstract: An Emergency Vessel Location System (EVLS) which broadcasts a verbal MAYDAY message including the vessel or vehicle identification number (VIN) and the vessel position via a transceiver controlled by the EVLS is provided with a verbal scrolling technique to initially load a VIN number into the EVLS. The verbal scroll entails annunciating letters of the alphabet and then numbers one at a time. In one embodiment programming is performed by two switches, one a TEST switch on the microphone, although any two switches may be used singly and in combination to enter the VIN. One switch is used to advance the scroll, while the other is used to select an entry.
